    Okay KM I'll bite. Somewhere else you said you enjoyed numbers So hypothetically you are a haul-out yard owner and own an expensive travel lift which requires competent skilled operators to operate efficiently and safely... you also own or lease a suitable hardstand and have acquired the necessary consents to permit the safe disposal of various concentrated heavy metals that may be present in antifouling coatings and potential nasty invasive critters, which are washed off in your yard and are your responsibility to dispose of safely and in accordance with the law. Because you are such

    Do you really think anyone is going to put Capital into a travelift plus associated breastworks, hardstand, resource consent lodgement and compliance, waste removal, health and safety, environmental management etc for you to have two free haulouts a year?...so you can avoid going scrubbing yor boat clean in NZ's foremost Coastal National Park? What am I missing?
  4. To reiterate I have no problem with achieving the requirements both under Cat 2 safety regs and RNI NOR. I understand perfectly whay the requirment are there. I remain somehwat conflicted as to the safety of carrying circa 120 plus litres of 91 octane petrol on board. This is my issue and ultimately is an economic question probably resulting in moving to a 4 stroke motor. Thanks again everyone.
  5. Yeah. It is very much a discussion about safety. Thanks for your input. Not everyone has your experience,but rather than make 'dumbo mistakes' I want to ensure that I have prepared my boat as best as I can as required by the event and within my budget.
  6. Fish...there has to be a practical, prudent speed able to be achieved. IMHO that for a 930 would be circa 4.5 - 6.0 knots in most conditions except for extreme conditions.
  7. Fish...the boat will do 6.5 - 6.8 flat out in flat water. Will do short test at 5.5 - 5.3kns as per Jon's previous recommendation and recalculate. Thanks everyone for the feedback.
  8. Jon, I don't think the rule requirement is unreasonable at all (having attempted to previously motor upwind in 45 - 50 knts in Cook Strait in a relatively calm sea state) but exceeding the minimum as per your earlier guidance suggests our current configuration will necessitate carrying at least 140 litres. We are currently restricted as to overall outboard length and width. Transom height is also important but looking at a few figures last night we could easily move from say 5.1 WOT L/hr to a 4 stroke 3.8 Lh/r WOT option and therefore move consumption in line with SMU, KM. or Changed. The ru
  9. No - but using Tohatsu 9.8 two stroke figures being 5.1L/Hr at WOT to achieve say 6 knots requires carrying a minimum of 127.5 Litres! Sure can ease back on throttle and do say 5.0 - 5.5 realistic) and probably save a heap of gas and meet requirement - still going to be considerably more than SMU. SMU are you running standard Yamaha 8 - 4 stroke prop or High Thrust? Model M9.8l Type Two Stroke Maximum output HP (kw) 9.8 (7.2) Maximum operating range rpm 5000-6000 Fuel consumption at W.O.
  10. Not necessarly diesel related but I note the existing smaller boats will have a mix of inboards and outboards. I have calculated our fuel requirement as rather onerous and arguably unsafe. What (how much) is everyone else going to carry? Option one - Carry the specified fuel requirement Option Two - Buy a new motor and re-engineer well
  11. Yes Aon broker - If they ensure Ballistic the Garden Ornament should be relatively low risk I would have thought...
  12. Oh Okay... We have 200NM limit Racing cover - $500 standard excess $1000.00 racing risk excess underwritten by Lloyds

    NRC on fan worm

    Interesting - would like to see how they imposed a 'rule' quite so quickly and more so what does entering Marlborough mean? Marlborough Harbour Limits?

    NRC on fan worm

    that isn't fast nor efficient...
  15. Bit small as masthead hoist on 930...might suit an 830????
  16. Wheels about $6500 capital cost for change to screw type bungy system
  17. Wow - what a collective of random assumptions. Your glaring lack of understanding of economics 101 is troubling whether it be leasing near shore space, competition or wage structures. Let alone an understanding the potential scale of a particular market where there are significant barriers to physical market entry and little in the way of barriers to virtual entry. Do you really believe that 170 berths is sufficient to support any type of retail, marine related or hospitality business other than a coffee cart?

    Steaming Lights

    So is it completely wrong to show a steaming light, port and starboard on the pulpit (correct sectors) and a stern light in a yacht under 12 metres if motoring?
  19. Big job...top effort...good hit too!
  20. Thanks everyone - especially IT for your comments. Good Previous link too - Thanks
